- The venue is hosting two fundraising events and has also launched a Kickstarter.
- A new community-run venue is opening in Glasgow this weekend. Taking over an empty space in the city centre, EXIT is a "100-percent artist-run project," the team told Resident Advisor. The 400-capacity space, which currently has a 3 AM license, is launching this weekend with two fundraisers in order to secure enough money to further the DIY project. The aim is to raise £5,000 to encourage a membership scheme and to fund essential DJ equipment. "We aim to bring the local scene together and create a platform for exchange between artists, musicians and DJs," the team added. "We're not genre-specific and we're focusing on bringing diverse, unpredictable and often secret unannounced lineups, with the majority of programming done in-house. We'll be running experimental early shows as well, and as well as the membership scheme, we'll have sliding scale tickets available and will strive to support various local communities with fundraiser events." Various local performers and DJs have been tapped for this weekend's double-header, including Boosterhooch, Brandon Lee Vear, JAYJAY and Feigur.
